Overall Score
8.0
out of 10
A lighter, faster, better-cameraed successor that reviewers widely call one of POCO's best devices to date — the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 delivers genuinely competitive gaming performance, though it runs hot, and the unchanged ultrawide camera remains the clearest weak point.
